Mauritius Refutes UK Press Reports on Chagos Agreement Amid British Media Criticism

The Mauritian Prime Minister’s Office has issued a communique refuting UK press claims that financial compensation under the Chagos Archipelago agreement had doubled to £18bn. Mauritius labeled the reports as baseless, reaffirming that the renegotiated terms were aimed at protecting the country's interests, including inflation-proof payments and requiring mutual consent for lease extensions beyond 99 years.

The British press has amplified skepticism, using the Coffee-Fort Cases to paint Mauritius as untrustworthy and referring to Prime Minister Ramgoolam as "London Boy" to foster distrust. These tactics, seemingly aimed at shaping public opinion, coincide with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch’s criticism at PMQs, where she accused the government of prioritizing payments to Mauritius over struggling UK pensioners.

Mauritius remains committed to the agreement, but the deal faces delays after the UK paused talks for a review under US President Trump.

On Wednesday afternoon, an incident occurred on the escalator leading to the Courts store at Grand Baie Cœur de Ville. An elderly person, accompanied by three others, lost their balance while ascending, causing two people behind them to fall. Another member of the group, attempting to assist, also tripped and fell.

Emergency protocols were swiftly implemented, and those involved were taken to a private clinic for examinations. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.

Mall management confirmed that the escalator’s safety system functioned correctly, ensuring a prompt response. They also urged the public to remain vigilant while using escalators and to always hold onto the safety railings.

The British government has dismissed claims by Mauritian Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam that the UK risks paying more under a new agreement on the Chagos Archipelago. According to BBC on February 5, the British Foreign Office labeled the figures quoted as “inaccurate and misleading.” A spokesperson stated, “The UK will only sign an agreement that is in its national interest.”

Ramgoolam, speaking in Parliament on February 4, criticized a previous agreement as a “very badly negotiated package” and emphasized the need for inflation protection over the 99-year lease. However, he did not disclose exact figures.

The UK was prepared to sign a deal in November 2024, but the newly elected Mauritian government delayed its finalization. With Donald Trump now in office, the agreement faces uncertainty, as his administration poses a potential threat to the negotiations.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump proposed that the United States "take over" the Gaza Strip, possibly with American troops, and transform it into a developed area. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump described his vision of turning Gaza into a “Riviera” while suggesting that Palestinians should leave permanently.

Trump’s remarks raise legal and financial questions, as well as concerns over regional stability. Egypt and Jordan have already rejected the idea of absorbing more Palestinian refugees. Critics argue his proposal disregards Palestinian rights and risks exacerbating tensions.

Trump, known for his opposition to prolonged U.S. military engagements, did not rule out deploying troops. His stance aligns with Israel’s right-wing factions but faces resistance from neighboring countries and international communities. The plan, if pursued, would mark a dramatic shift in U.S. Middle East policy.

Following the first Monetary Policy Committee meeting of the year on Tuesday, February 4, the Bank of Mauritius announced a 50-basis-point increase in the key Repo Rate, raising it from 4% to 4.5%. Governor Dr. Rama Sithanen made the announcement, emphasizing the need to manage inflation and economic stability.

For people who took on loans, this means higher interest rates on existing and new loans. Those with variable-rate loans will see an increase in their monthly repayments, making borrowing more expensive. Businesses and consumers may face higher financial burdens, potentially slowing down spending and investment.

Newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump has made combating illegal immigration a top priority. With an estimated 11 to 14 million undocumented immigrants in the country, his administration is intensifying deportation efforts. The majority of these individuals—around 4.81 million—are Mexican, but many other nationalities are also affected.

Among them, 15 undocumented Mauritians are now facing imminent deportation. U.S. immigration authorities have identified them as part of their broader crackdown on illegal residents. This move aligns with Trump's strict immigration policies, aiming to reinforce border security and remove those without legal status. As enforcement tightens, many undocumented immigrants fear for their future in the United States.

The Grand-Baie police are investigating the kidnapping of a 31-year-old man from Plaine-Verte on Thursday evening, January 30. The victim was speaking with a restaurant owner and her husband around 11 p.m. when a minibus stopped nearby. Two men exited, grabbed him by force, and dragged him into the vehicle. Despite bystanders' attempts to raise the alarm, the kidnappers quickly fled toward Pointe-aux-Canonniers. The motive behind this abduction remains unclear. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and gathering testimonies to track the suspects. The police have intensified their efforts to locate the victim and ensure his safe return, as the incident has left the community shaken.

The release of hostages in southern Gaza on Thursday descended into chaos and disorder as Palestinian militants struggled to control a large crowd of people trying to catch a glimpse of the handover.

Potential Cyclone Threat for Mauritius in Coming Days According to Météo France, tropical disturbance 07-20242025 is currently situated approximately 600 km southeast of Diego Garcia. The system is moving southward at 7 km/h and is expected to intensify into a tropical storm within the next 48 hours. By Friday, it may pose a potential threat to the Mascarenes, including Rodrigues, Mauritius, and Réunion. The forecasted trajectory remains uncertain, making it difficult to determine possible impacts on inhabited areas. As of now, the system’s central pressure is estimated at 999 hPa, with sustained winds of 45 km/h and gusts reaching 65 km/h. Although no cyclone alert is currently in effect, residents are urged to stay informed and prepared as conditions may evolve. Further updates will be issued as the system progresses southwestward.
